Grant Description

To support the restoration of the 19th-century Garita de Metales in Juarez.

Located in the citys old Customs Office compound, the historic Garita de Metales building once served as an inspection checkpoint for munitions and all metal-based goods during the Mexican Revolution.

The project includes critical repairs to the roof and walls and other interventions to ensure a safe and appropriate environment for cultural and educational activities at the site.
